I have a shedding dog and I have to empty it out for every floor! </p> <p>Other than that I love it! I don't have too too much going on in the house, but I do have to prep the areas a bit before I start the roomba. It's still 100% better than needing to bust out the dyson every other day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-home-layout-suited-to-a-roomba#post-1673023 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 12:42:28 +0000 looch 1673023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, because it's basically a ranch style house. But my son is scared of it, so we put it away for now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-home-layout-suited-to-a-roomba#post-1672974 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 12:30:52 +0000 spaniellove 1672974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: We have a lot of french doors in our house and I close them to keep the Roomba from wandering, which helps. </p> <p>@theknest: You can use it on a flatter rug but I don't think I'd rely heavily on it for plush carpet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-home-layout-suited-to-a-roomba#post-1672928 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 12:17:29 +0000 theknest 1672928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know much about them - do they work for both soft &amp; hard surfaces (carpet and laminate?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-home-layout-suited-to-a-roomba#post-1672920 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 12:15:38 +0000 Cole 1672920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have read that it is possible to section off your house to make it work better for you (put up a gate etc.) and I think it would do fine in our house if we did that. It might do ok without the extra help but it's hard to tell without shelling out the money for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-home-layout-suited-to-a-roomba#post-1672902 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 12:10:25 +0000 spaniellove 1672902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our master bedroom + sitting room is, so it lives there! But DH wrapped the legs of the bed in bubble wrap because we were afraid the edges would get damaged. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-home-layout-suited-to-a-roomba#post-1672886 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 12:04:59 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1672886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really, but we still use it (we got a hand me down one from my husband's parents). It actually doesn't eat cords! It does fill up really fast, though. We have two dogs, so we have to empty it constantly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-home-layout-suited-to-a-roomba#post-1672866 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 11:57:30 +0000 MrsTiz 1672866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No just because we have so much furniture! It would be crashing into chair/table/couch legs so much we'd probably break it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-home-layout-suited-to-a-roomba#post-1672864 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 11:56:56 +0000 mrbee 1672864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love to get one, but there are too many cords on the ground and too much general funkiness in the apartment layout. Bee's mom has one though, and it works great with their place!</p> <p>Is your home layout suited to a Roomba? </p>
